"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (television show)
season 1, episode 9 - Cloak of Darkness
"Ignore your instincts at your peril."
These last few pre-episode declarations have been super fortune-cookie not-fortunes. And then the husband and I got sidetracked and started discussing Jedi fortune cookies. The factory would be on Coruscant, and those poor younglings would be made to do the labor of making the cookies and sticking the fortunes in there.
Master Luminara Unduli and Ahsoka are tasked with taking Nute Gunray to Coruscant for trial. Oh, *that's* Luminara, who I'd only heard about because her lightsabre was being sold at Dok Ondar's on Batuu. Turns out she was voiced by Olivia D'Abo. Interesting.
Darth Sidious tells Dooku that Gunray needs to be rescued or at least silenced so that he doesn't give up all the information about them and their plans. Dooku sends Ventress and tells her that this is a test for her, given that she has not performed well previously and Sidious is not pleased with her.
Luminara is interrogating Gunray, and Ahsoka jumps in and threatens to kill him if he doesn't talk. Ummm, that's not how the Jedi are supposed to work, Ahsoka, even if you were only threatening and weren't meaning to hurt him. And why is Ahsoka with Luminara when she's Anakin's padawan? They can just pass them around?
Ventress has freed Gunray and they're trying to escape, but they run into Luminara and Ahsoka. The two of them fighting Ventress was pretty cool.
Turns out that one of the troopers is actually working for Dooku to get Gunray. And hey, he's voiced by James Marsters, Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", who by name I always confuse with James Marsden, Cyclops from X-Men. Cocky traitor trooper gets taken care of by Ventress, who escapes with Gunray.
